Hi Andrew! Thanks for replying.
However, my attempts got bogged down at: virt-install playing poorly with grsecurity-hardened https://forums.grsecurity.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4609 (maybe some of grsecurity users among you Devuan can tell why such poor play of virt=install with a (heavily) grsecurity-hardened kernel?... The grsecurity-hardened Devuan is what I plan to try and achieve also with DEvuan once I finally install it... But read my apologies at the end of this email...) Notice there a link to Gentoo Bugzilla to see why I was trying to see if virt-install could do for me: =sys-kernel/hardened-sources-4.7.6: Kernel panic when starting KVM guests https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597554 It's likely a use-after-free condition, according to PaX Team: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=597554#c16 More of my reply below.

While I think the conversion to turn a Devuan guest is very likely much more complex than a regular install, none of it can I still attempt to do yet... This has cost me a lot of time, and I got nowhere. I did have a much nicer try with Devuan-based Refracta which I was so glad about: Devuan image in Qemu http://www.croatiafidelis.hr/foss/cap/cap-161015-qemu-devuan/#No5 Thanks again, and ;-) sorry I work so slow...! -- Miroslav Rovis Zagreb, Croatia http://www.CroatiaFidelis.hr
